Milan just needs first half to sweep away Venezia

All Milan needs is the first half to sweep away Venezia

At the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, AC Milan seizes its first success in this championship by overwhelming Venezia 4-0 in today’s last match of the fourth day of Serie A.

Leao and Theo Hernandez start as starters and they are the ones who put the Rossoneri ahead after a minute and a half: the Frenchman passes to the Portuguese who gives the ball back to him with a heel, a left-footed shot from a defiladed but close position that Joronen gets under his legs and finishes in the goal.

Milan dominated, conceded only a couple of shots to Venezia and on 16’ doubled in a fortuitous but meitata way: corner from Pulisic’s left, scramble in which Fofana popped up and deflected into the net with Joronen’s futile attempt to save.

On 25’ the trio: Joronen è still disastrous, he rejects a shot by Reijnders on the feet of Abraham and does nothing better than to knock him down, clear penalty that Pulisic transforms. On 29’ another penalty for the Rossoneri, this time for a stomping inflicted in the box by Schengtienne on Leao, Di Marco indicates the penalty spot after the VAR consultation and this time è Abraham to transform, displacing Joronen as Pulisic had done.

The resumption è without history, indeed, è always Fonseca’s team to have the best chances, then at 71’ Venezia shortens the distance with Zampano after a botch of the Rossoneri defense but the goal is canceled due to an earlier foul on Loftus Cheek by Nicolussi Caviglia who is also sent off for added cautions.
